November 16, 2005 WSU team places third in regional ethics bowl competition A team of five Wright State University undergraduates placed third recently in the Seventh Annual Midwestern Regional Ethics Bowl, the largest regional ethics bowl in the nation.Jennifer Rammel (team captain), a junior pre-med major from Beavercreek, Mike Boehringer, a senior management major from Fairborn, Amanda Marsh, a junior marketing major from Urbana, Matthew Watson, an accounting major from Beavercreek, and Daniel Furman, an international business/computer science major from Dayton, were coached by Joseph Petrick, Ph.D., professor of management and director of the Institute for Business Integrity at the WSU Raj Soin College of Business. Wright State was among 20 colleges and universities that competed in the November 12 event that was held in Indianapolis. Other schools competing included Loyola University-Chicago, University of Kentucky, Indiana State University, Indiana University/Purdue University at Indianapolis, Taylor University, Butler University, DePauw University, Valparaiso University, Northeastern Illinois University, Northern Kentucky University, University of Southern Indiana and Saint Louis University. The format for the Ethics Bowl involves a moderator who randomly selects one of 15 ethics cases and poses a challenging moral question to the first competing team. That team has 60 seconds to confer before answering the question by stating its case analysis and resolution in seven minutes. This is followed by five minutes of rebuttal from an opposing team and then 10 minutes of follow-up questions from a panel of expert judges. Then teams reverse roles. Finally, the judges evaluate the teams’ presentation and rebuttal responses on a scale of zero to 20 in terms of clarity, focus, depth and logic. After six matches, the team with the most points wins. The Wright State team will next compete at the National Ethics Bowl event in March in Jacksonville, Florida. WSU won this national event in 2002 and placed in the top five last year.
